Entergy is asking people to stay away from downed power lines as they are working as quickly and safely as possible.

There has been one instance this morning here in Warren County where a citizen was cutting trees just a few inches from a high voltage line containing 8000 volts of electricity.

Entergy Spokeswoman, Sheila McKinnis, encourages the public to continue to use restraint and allow them to give an all clear before cutting anywhere near utility lines.
